RE: Everyones opinion please!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah that would rock but i cant afford the blower.How the hell could i do a twin turbo?
It would be nice but i dont have a clue about turbos other than how they work.

RE: Everyones opinion please!!!!!!!!!!!
what the hell is a 3/4 race cam?
That makes the assumption that there's a set "race cam" and a set "street cam" and it's 75% of said race cam, right? So if you've got a cam that's just a hair wilder than the "race cam", would that make it a 1 1/8 race cam?
Yes, I'm aware that I may be coming off as a bit of an ***, but I really am interested in the answer to this.
Other than that, can you get enough air through that scoop/velocity stack? I noticed a marked improvement in my truck when I switched from the stock 12x3 enclosed air cleaner to a 14x4" k&n open filter.

Yous ave money for the turbos.
If you don't know a thing about 'em, try reading this book. Damn near the definative.
"Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell.
Steal my e-bay copy and I'll beat ya down with a dictionary.

Nah Turboing isnt my style.Im a big fan of oldschool i like the blown setups much better.
The best part is they still run off my favorite form of fuel delivery CARBS!

Electric fan,(believe me that flexalite is robbing that 331 or more power than you think. and there only rated at like 6000 rpms, i hope that 331 revs higher than that...... 9inch with locker,4 link rear, aluminum heads, bigger cam, Mallory ignition, box, longtubes, Slicks, draglites(but i like the rims you got), and say a 750 carb...... if you wanna spend money go with a demon there grrrrrrreat...
